Repo Man was voted by me to be the best movie of the 1980s. This web site attempts to reference all sources of Repo Man information located anywhere on the internet. If you know of any I'm missing, please send me e-mail and let me know.

Don't forget to visit my home page while you're here.

The best sources of cast, credits and other production details are probably at the Internet Movie Database.

The most comprehensive fan site is repomanfilm.com from Trent Reeve. It contains the world's largest collection of Repo Man memorabilia in addition to much other useful information.

Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday
Alex Cox's first sequel to Repo Man.

In 2005, AntStuie Productions began filming this as a no-budget production, but it was never released. They did, however, eventually produce a documentary about the experience called A Texas Tale of Treason, which may still be available on eBay. More information here.

A short time later, work began on the Graphic Novel which was advertised as the official sequel and released in the spring of 2008. It appears to have been influenced by a rough cut of the unreleased film.

I once had my own idea for a sequel, but it was completely different and nobody has shown any interest in filming it yet.
